Background Analyses of adverse events in surgery reveal that many underlying causes are behavioural, such as communication failure, rather than technical. Non-technical (i.e. cognitive and interpersonal) skills not addressed explicitly surgical training. However, surgeons need to demonstrate these skills, which underpin their technical excellence, maximise patient safety the operating theatre. This paper describes method used identify surgeons' non-technical development a taxonomy...
Surgeons' intraoperative decision making is a key element of clinical practice, yet has received scant attention in the surgical literature. In recent years, serial changes configuration training UK have reduced time spent by trainees operating theatre. The opportunity to replace this lost experience with active teaching important, but there seem been very few studies that directly examined cognitive skills underlying during operations. From available evidence surgery, and drawing from...
<h3>Importance</h3> Surgical expertise demands technical and nontechnical skills. Traditionally, surgical trainees acquired these skills in the operating room; however, operative time for residents has decreased with duty hour restrictions. As other professions, video analysis may help maximize learning experience. <h3>Objective</h3> To develop evaluate a postoperative video-based coaching intervention residents. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> In this mixed methods analysis, 10...
This article highlights the importance of considering Cognitive Load (CL) and Theory (CLT) during surgical training, focusing on acquisition intra-operative skills. It describes basis CLT with overarching aim describing CLT-based techniques to enhance current training strategies performance, many which are instinctively already employed in practice. Currently, methods feedback assessment imperfect - typically subjective, unsystematic, opportunistic, or retrospective, at risk human bias....
A reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) is designed for rapid adjustment of production capacity and functionality in response to new market conditions process technology. It has several distinct characteristics including modularity, integrability, customisation, convertibility diagnosability. There are a number key interrelated technologies that should be developed implemented achieve these characteristics. This paper examines identifies technologies. After brief description the RMSs...
Abstract There is growing evidence that non‐technical skills (NTS) are related to surgical outcomes and patient safety. The aim of this study was further evaluate a behaviour rating system (NOTSS: Non‐Technical Skills for Surgeons) which can be used workplace assessment the cognitive social essential components NTS. A novice group composed consultant surgeons (n = 44) from five Scottish hospitals attended one six experimental sessions were trained use NOTSS system. They then rate surgeons’...
Abstract Rationale, aims and objectives Adverse events still occur despite ongoing efforts to reduce harm patients. Contributory factors adverse are often due limitations in clinicians’ non‐technical skills (e.g. communication, situation awareness), rather than deficiencies technical competence. We developed a behavioural rating system provide structured means for teaching assessing scrub practitioners’ (i.e. nurse, technician, operating department practitioner) skills. Method Psychologists...
